Re: Renewal of my MPL

My C2 neck vertabrae was broken and I had my C1, C2 and C3 neck vertebrae fused. What is my chance of getting my medical renewed? DH I broke my neck way back in 1993 with a "hangman's fracture", basically sheared my odontoid process clean off and spent a year in hospital during which time I had my ...

Re: Xenon RST new pic 16 August

How about some sexy wheel spats? And take the Xenon sticker off, you've now put more effort into the plane than they have!

Re: Xenon RST new pics 12 July - new drama

Greg you are a contentious individual, not shy to voice your opinions and you certainly know how to get people's knickers in a knot! Having said all of that, this has to be one of the most interesting gyro forum threads I have ever read. I know your predilection for attaining an anal retentive level...

Magni M16 Gyrocopter for Sale - SOLD

I am the third owner of this Italian factory built gyro and have had 650 hours of trouble free flying from her over the last 5 years. However with me being 6ft7 and 118kg she’s always been a tight fit and I finally decided to change to a bigger flying machine. As much as it feels like I’m selling on...

Then even if the new owner had to overhaul (which indeed they do not!) at around R150k for a zero hour engine you woul...

Nope, actually they just had not arrived yet... I'm pretty sure it was the Calidus x 6 that arrived last and were not in time for the group pic.
